Just
what exactly is the significance of the CAFTA vote as it relates to our
ability as American citizens to shape our destiny?

When
promises of "pork" are made to congressmen to change their votes, is this
not bribery? Isn't the use of positive/negative reinforcement operant
conditioning (rewards and punishment) basically what the Russian Ivan
Pavlov and the American B.F. Skinner recommended as the method to change
animal behavior and to create robots? Such conditioning bypasses the brain
with all the important functions which distinguish man from an animal:
memory, conscience, imagination, insight, and intuition, functions by
which human beings know absolutes and truths and are able to know God.

Unfortunately
operant conditioning works, whereas trying to persuade a human being to
change his mind/vote using reason, logic, etc. does not always work since
one is up against an individual's free will and conscience. Have you ever
known a dog (an animal without free will or conscience) who would not
drool and sit when he is assured of getting a dog biscuit?

The
Congressmen who changed their votes from UNDECIDED to YES were victimized
by the use of Pavlovian/Skinnerian operant conditioning.

In fact,
most of the Congressmen and Senators who voted yes were undoubtedly victims
of this inhumane method of controlling behavior through the promise of
goodies (pork) for their congressional districts, in which case their
constituents will reward them by re-electing them the next time around.

The
more this animal training method (positive/negative reinforcement) is
used on Americans, the more we will see of conscienceless, robotic actions
at all levels in our society. I doubt that the Congressmen and Senators
who voted yes and those who caved in even know what I am talking about
since they have been through the government schools which use the Skinner
method K-12 (especially computers), have been exposed to the media's constant
conditioning, especially via TV and videos which are Skinnerian operant
conditioning machines, and have been lead to believe that it is perfectly
normal to make a decision based on the assurance of a reward. Example:
In my town of Bath, Maine, the Community Oriented Policing System (COPS)
has instituted a program which calls for the police to give medals (rewards)
to citizens who do good deeds, the police themselves determining what
is a "good" or a "bad" deed! This information is stored in a data bank
at the state capitol.

In our
anguish over this sovereignty-busting vote we must not forget to thank
all who voted NO on the CAFTA. Pick up the phone and get busy making thank
you calls. And be sure to ask them to vote NO on the forthcoming FTAA.
Congressional switchboard number is: 202-224-3121. Special thanks should
go to those who were "undecided" and refused to succumb to the offers
of funding for bridges, roads, etc. Yesterday's list of the "undecideds"
can be accessed by going to thelibertycommittee.org. Find out from today's
media coverage which of the "undecideds" held firm in their convictions.

This
is just the beginning of our assault on the traitors in Washington who
are selling our birthright for a mess of pottage. They are the Judases
of the 21st Century. Judas betrayed our Lord to the pharisees for thirty
pieces of silver. Our Congressmen have betrayed their constituents in
exchange for lucrative deals promised by the White House.

All
of us who fought this battle so valiantly will NOT stop now. We are fortunate
that we have one more chance to take a stand for America and all that
she represents. If we came this close to victory in the Senate and the
House, there is no reason under the sun, except laziness and lack of focus,
that we cannot defeat the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA)
when it comes up for a vote. Stay tuned by going to www.stoptheftaa.org.

Cicero
in the year 42 B.C. discussed what is going on in the Halls of Congress
when he said:

A nation
can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason
from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known
and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within
the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard
in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor—he
speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and
their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts
of all men. He rots the soul of a nation—he works secretly and unknown
in the night to undermine the pillars of a city—he infects the body politic
so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.......Cicero,
42 B.C.E.
